WM Versus the Cowboys

Craig Depken notes that the new Cowboys stadium is being constructed adjacent to a new Wal-Mart Supercenter. This could spark a disagreement between two powerful political players:

This picture shows where the proposed stadium will lie. The parking lot directly to the north of the proposed stadium site was a Kmart and Walmart is in the process of building a Super Walmart right there - food, beer, etc. It will be interesting to see who wins the battle between the Cowboys and Walmart - the Cowboys will likely bar food and beverage into the stadium, and Walmart will likely lobby for food and soda being brought into the stadium.
I can't imagine Wal-Mart will have that much leverage in this decision.
